Sorry, I'm not much for updating right now. I'm working 60 hours a week. I've been traveling a lot (including another trip this weekend). Soon after I get back, I start a new job (with slightly more normal hours). I just don't have a lot of energy for other things right now.Jesse Harris was a disappointment last night. I had high hopes for the man who wrote “Don’t Know Why†(made famous

(Oops. I forgot to finish these posts.)Friday Tristan Prettyman — nice. She had a full band with her, unlike when she was at the Record Bar with Ben Taylor, and the full-band may have overwhelmed her simple, folky songs some, but she wasn’t too bad.Gnarls Barkley — Why are they so popular? I don’t think dude can even sing. I may have been the only person in the crowd who hadn’t heard Cra

I finally upgraded my Flickr account, so there are now over 1,000 pictures on my Flickr page...with more coming. It's a little heavy on the Will Hoge pictures right now (465 pictures, seriously?)Some of my personal favorites are at the end of the Jack Ingram set (like this one and this one.) I'll be adding more and more pictures all the timeWhen is Robbie Fulks coming back? Isn't it time alread

Sorry it's taken so long to post about Jon Dee. Life is getting in the way right now.Jon Dee was on Saturday night. He looked healthier than he did last time. He’s still skinny, but his face is fuller and his belly is a little bigger. His clothes actually fit this time (which just means he just went out and bought smaller clothes). And he doesn’t have that hollow look he had last time. I

I'm completely doped up on cold medicine right now so bear with me if nothing I write makes sense.I don’t even know what to say about Split Lip Rayfield’s show. It started out as this amazing life-affirming show….and then things deteriorated as the evening progressed. I should make something clear though — the band was solid all night. The music sounded great. It was just the audience

Another Cold Medicine post.Much to my surprise, I really enjoyed Willie Nelson’s set last night. Last time I saw Willie, it was all I could do to stay awake. This time…this time was good. He stuck to the hits, and covers that people knew (like Wayon’s “Good Hearted Womanâ€). This time he actually opened with “Whiskey River,†like he’s supposed to! I can’t remember the name of

I'll keep this short because it's almost 1 am and I have to be at work in a few hours (yes, on a Sunday).Alejandro Escovedo was simply amazing Friday night, though I would expect nothing less from him. I’ve seen him maybe seven times now and I’ve only seen one bad show. (But, wow, that show was bad.) The new guitarist (Jon Dee Graham’s replacement) is an incredible player. Jon Dee who?
